+rsync.gentoo.org offers rsync service by default to gentoo users who do not configure a more specific SYNC variable. On 2020-08-12 the rotation lost
+a node (boobie.gentoo.org.) The rsync.gentoo.org service uses geo-ip and views to offer a node closests to clients. For some clients (particularly
+clients in the Americas) the loss of boobie meant only a single node was available for those users. This node was also shared with Europe users and it
+was overwhelmed with traffic. The result is that many users experienced problems syncing the tree (emerge --sync or similar commands) because the busy
+node would often reject new sync attempts due to high load. Today (2020-08-24) we increased the number of nodes for Europe and America to address the
+problem.
